Frequently Asked Questions

What is a link preview checker?

When you paste a URL into Facebook, X, LinkedIn, Slack or Discord, those apps read the page's Open Graph (OG) meta tags to build a preview card — title, description, and image. This tool fetches those tags and shows you exactly how the card will look, so you can fix problems before sharing.

Why does my link preview look wrong or blank?

It usually means the page is missing Open Graph tags (og:title, og:description, og:image) or the image URL is broken or too small. This checker shows you which tags are present so you know what to fix.

Is this link preview checker free?

Yes — paste any public URL and check its preview with no sign-up. To shorten and track the links you share, create a free URLyte account.

Does it work for any website?

It works for any publicly accessible page. Pages behind a login, or sites that block bots, may not return a preview.
